There's definitely more lace than leather in Greenwich Village today (also known as the West Village). The closest any American neighborhood has come to a corner in Paris. This part of town has been home to artists, writers, non-conformists, entertainers, intellectuals and bohemians since the turn of the twentieth century. The downtown charm is personified in lots of townhouses, thumbnail size gardens, secret courtyards and a unique layout of streets. Washington Square Park is an oasis and circus combined, where skateboarders, jugglers, stand-up comics, sitters, strollers, sweethearts, chess players, fortune tellers, and day dreamers converge. At night, Greenwich Village comes alive with sounds of late night coffee houses, cafes, experimental theaters, and music clubs. Greenwich Village is the heart of lower Manhattan.
